ARMIES.
Miles said, afterward, "My respects
of Aboixt was that as he wouldn't stand
up to his brother, it wouldn't look right
to be agile him."
When the battalion was dismissed,
Allen walked rapidly to Mr. Bill. The
latter was wiping the tears from his
eyes with lus handkerchief. Having
finished this operation, he went with a
resolute step toward Bland's iiaena,
whither Colonel Grice, after -distil Mint-
ing and giving his horse to a eery nt to
hold, hed repaired.
"Ah, Mr. Bland," said the
about to light a cigar, "you p
men, you who follow in the pe
way--clepaitments, I might rat
of dry goods, and hardwar, and
es, and blankets, ancl trace ehai
other Bich departments, so as
all o' the warions warieties of a
keeper's business -you don't k ow -I
mary say you don't dream -Mr. t land,
of the responsuability of a eilitary
man whose country's enemies ti ay be
at the very gates-"
"Colonel Grice 1" said Mr. Bit Will-
iams, in a tone nobody had. ever heard
from him before. The colonel anted
to see whe called, Ittr. Bill was tend-
ing on the ground, Allen Thigpe and
Miles Bunkly by his side.
"Hello ! Bill!" said the colon° , with
careless cordiality. "What'll yo have,
my dear fellow ?"
"PH have satisfaction, Mose Grice.
I'm not a fightin' man, and I k ow I
have sometimes been keerless n my
talk, yit I -never went to hurt p ople's
feelings a -purpose, and I alway helt
myself more of a gentleman tha to in-
sult women and little ehildre , and
which you can't say for yourself with-
out tellint of a lie, and a fightin' ie at
that."
Those words operated the g eatest
surprise that ever befell Colonel osse
Grice. Partly in astonishment, artly
in -wrath, and partly in depreoati n, he
exclaimed.:
"What in this, wide omnipotent orld!
Is the Colonel of the Fourteenth Regi-
ment got to study his langwidges "
"Come. Mose Grice," said Miles slow-
ly, but distinctly, "the muster's over
now, and. William Williams is your
ekal, and he is liable to have his satis-
faction, oiliest you apologizes for your
langwidges."
"I don't want his apologies," sa d. Mr.
Bill. "I won't have his, apologies He's
got to fight, 'ithout he gits on his horse
and runs away."
"I can't stand that," ttaid the o lonel.
Throwing off his coat, he came r pidly
down the steps to where Mr, Bill, eim-
iliarly stripped, awaited him.

The blows, the grapplhags, the trug-
gles of every kind, are as if each com-
batant hadstaked. every dear thi g up-
on the result, and set in to sav it or
die. The advantages on this occ sion, -
except the right, were with the colonel.
Taller by an inch, though pethap: not
heavier, agr.e, practited, aud h the
full maturity of his physical pow re, he
had, besides, a contempt for his dyer-
sarytand expected to prevail sp. dily.
Mr. Bill himself rather counted upon
this result; but he had made u his
anind that such was preferable to what
he would endure without an atte es pt to
punish this persistent insulting ra llery.
He had never been a participant in a
fight of any sort; but he had 1 bored
habitually at the heaviest work upon
his farm, and he had broken, tin ssist-
ed, many a colt, horse and, mule, f his
famous Molly Sparks -the roost ililul
and indocile of dares- He had no the
special disadvantage of having be n up-
on his feet during several hours o tire-
some exercises.

Mr. Bill conducted himself with sur-

not successful, with becoming fort tude.

ground upon his left side.
"There, now !" said Mites B nkly.

pering to Allen a few words, h took
out his handkerchief , and covere • his
eyes for several moments.
"Bill," said Allen, "Miles saes, hold
on as long as you can. If you g t too
badly used up, he'll help you tak care
o' Rom and Reme."
Then Bill Williams was worth s eing,
though prostrate on the field. 1 hese
words fell upon his ear with a fore irre-
sistible. But for Mr. Bowden's neer-
titude as to the impersonation of those
combatants of the heroic age, he •'gilt
have conapared these words of Mi es to
those of Pallas, when
"Raged Tydides, boundless in his ire:
‘Pallea. eorrorta.nds, and Pallas lends thee froe.'"
As it was, Bill pronounced the t a,mes
"Rora" and "Berne" once, and th..n he
gave a groan that sounded less a groan
than a. roar. And then, in spite f the
superincumbent weight, he slit denly
reaohed hi arm aronnd the co onel's
neok, and drew his head. to the grbund.
It was said of Miles Bunkly ti peo-
ple of veracity, and those wh had

ly, that this was the only occasion dur-

The colonel, apparently concludipg
that the time had come, said, as ; dis-

"Come, It ill," said Allen, taking him
by the ar si ,-"enough's enough."
Mr. Bill rose with the reluctant air of
a man ro sed from a luxurious conch
whereon le had been indulgipg, though
not to the full, in sweet sleep and
sweeter d earn& The colonel arose,
and, unptied of all, slunk limping
away. M les Bunkly, with tears in his
eyes, laid his hands on Mr. Bill's
shoulders, and said:
"I kno ed it were obleeged to be .in

VI.
"My !" s id Mr. Bill, when he had
washe'd, a d was feeling the knots mad
bruises on is face, and trying to open
his eyes -"my ! but ain't it tiresome?
I ruther maul rails all day 'ithout my
dinner, or break two o' old Molly's colts,
mules at that, than to have to go
through sich as that agin. Thenkye
Miles, andeome and see a fellow." He
bade all adieu, and went on home,
where something in the bosom of his
family awaited him that is worth re-
lating. The news having preceded him,
his wife, a pious 'woman, was a little
troubled in her mind at first for haying
given to her husband the spur to a feel-
ing that was not entirely consistent With
duty; yet when they had told her the
whole story, she rose, laid aside her
work, went to her chest, got out her'
very best frock, and every thread of her
children's Sunday clothes, including
many ft, ribbon that had survived its
ancient use, and arrayed herself and
them to greet the hero upon his return.
The whicker of old Molly at the foot of
the lane, and the answer of the colt in
the lot, announced the joyous moment.
Dismounting at his gate, Mr. Bit! would
fain have indulged his eyes with that
goodly sight ; but one of thern was en-
tirely and the other parttally closed..
He became aware of the rushing into
his arms of a person of about the size of
his wife, and justly guessed to be her,
and the cries of two children which he
rather thought were familiar to his
ears. For the boys, When they saw
their father all battered and bruised,
set up a yelling, and retreated.
"Yon Rom! you Reme !" cried the
indignant mother, laughing the while,
"if you don't stop that crying and mak-
ing out like you don't know your father,
skin you both alive! Come back
here, and if you as much as whimper,
I'll pull off them ribbons, strip you to
your shirts, and put you to your bed
without a mouthful for your supper!"
They came -back,' did those boys.
"Look at him, sirs. Don't tell me
you don't know him. Who is it ?"
"Peppy," said Rom, on a venture, fol-
lowed by Rome.
"And ain't he the grandest man
that's a -living ?"
"Eth'rn," said Rom.
"Ethim," said Reme.
"Now git behind than and le's all
march in."
"And we did march in," said Mr.
Bill, afterward -"me, and Car'liue, and
Rom, and Rome; and as we was a-
marchin' alimg, I felt --blamed if I did-
n't -like Bing William at the head of
his armies."
Miles Bunkly had become too fond of
his "molloncholy" to let it depart en-
tirely; but its severest pains subsided
in spite of him, now that the rival who
had been preferred to him had justified
the preference.
"My respects of William Williams,"
he would often say, "is that, that it ric-
oncile me and do my molloncholy good
that he's the husband and the protec-
tor, as it were, of -well, ef 1 should
name the narae, it would be Car'line
Thigpen that were."
For some weeks immediately follow-
ing the day of the fight he had been ob-
served, from time to time, in theeinter-
vale of other business, engaged With a
work seeming to require much pains-
taking, the result of which will imme-
diately appear. One morning Mr. Bill,
standing in his door, called to his wife:
"Come here, Cartline, quick Who
and what can them be yonder a-comin'
up to the gate? Somebody, 'pear like,
a leadin' of a par o' dogs hitched to a
little waggin."
Mrs. Williams, looking intently at the
corners, cried:
"It's brothealeading of a par o' calves
yoked to a little cart."
She was right.
"Good gracious, brother-"
But Allen paid not the slightest at-
tention to his sister, not even saying
good-raorning.
"Here, Rom; here, Reme" (his busi-
ness being with them), "here's a pre-
sent for you from Miles Bunkly; and
he in particklar charge me to tell you,
and which ef you. weren't old enough
yit to have sense enough, ‘twouldn't be
long before you would be to understan'
sich langwidges, that his respects of
your father was that, that he sent you
the follerin' keart and steers, and which
he made the keart with his own hands,
the paintin' and all, and likewise broke
the steers, and which they're jest six
months old to -day, and which you
moutn't believe it, but they are twin
calves, them, steers is, of his old cow
Speakle-face, and which he say is the
best andlialliblest cow he ever posses-
sioned, and which them was the very
worde he said."
Then -turning to his *ester and bro-
ther-in-lativ, he said, " awnin,' sister
Caeline ; awnin", BilI.
Mr. Bill roared with itighter ; Mrs.
Bil shed tears in silence, both in their
abounding gratitude. '
"And tins at that 1" said Mr. Bill,
"jets' like Rom and Rome !" An idea
struck bini as with the Isuddenness of
i
inspiration.
' "Allen," he asked, vaguely, "does yon
know the . names o' them steers?"
"No, Bill; Miles didn t-"
"Makes no odds ef he did. I names
them steers'; and you sre they're ad-
zactly alike, exceptin' that one in the
lead got the roundeste-a . leetle the
roundest -blaze fn the fitrrard." Going
slowly to the latter, and laying his
hand 'upon his head, Le said, "This
here steer here is name Mierlus." Ttlen
walking slowly down -gonad the cart
and up to the latter, and laying his
hand upon his head, saying, `•Thiehere
steer here is name Bunkerlus." Then
,he took his boys; lifted them into the
cart, contemplated all with, a satisfac-
tion that had no bottom to i, then
waved his hand in preparation fo a har-
angue that few other things could have•
prevented than that which inaniediate-
ly transpired. Miles Bunkly himself
appeared at the gate, arid walked in;
his faze wreathed in mela.ncholyIsmiles.
"Why, Miles, you blessed everlastin'
old fellovel" exclaimed Mr. Bill.
They were people too honest and plain
to feel any embarrassment. The gen-
erous•donor at once took the cart lines
intolis hands, and led the procession
several times about the yard and. the
lot, RS innocent and in many respects
as much a child as those otywhom he
had bestowed his gift. The ardor of
Mr- Bill could not be subdued as he
looked upon the scene. , Tears like
those in his wife's eyes earn° into his
own, and he said softly, tio her and to
Allen: . .
"I never spected to live to see sich a
skene and sich a ewent. Thar they
goes, Romerlas Williams and Remedios
Williams, and. Mierlus-ahem 1 -Will -
tams, and Bunkerlus Williams, and.
Miles Bankly hisself and the keart and
alt; and I'll .challenge, I don t say this
county, brit this whole State 'o Georgie,.
to pejuce it skene and liejuce a ewent
as lovely as the present 'skeet) a,nd the
present evlent on this lqvely ntawnin',
like. It do look like, Allen -it do look
like the families is united and jinded
together." Mr. Bill's thfoat choked up
with just enough space left to allow .01
breathing, but of not another word.
"Allen," said Miles, when,
the visit
being over, they were on their way
home, "to think of William a-couplin'
of my name along with them -lovely
boys! Well, Allen, I never expects to
git intirely over my molloncholy, but -I
tell you, Allen, I were never as nigh of
bein' of riaonciled to it.",
• Irn.prOering the Landscape.
They were straining together in. the
moonlight by the water's edge at the
foot of the garden. Taking advantage
of their fancied seclusion, the young
ma,n gently encircled the maiden's waist.
with his atm, and, drawing her to him,
for the first time in the course of their
love partoek of the refreshment which
is fabled to surpass in sweetness the
most equiSite cranberry jam. The next
morning after breakfast her papa took
her aside and coldly remarked:
"Mary, you were walkingwith Walter
last evening ?"
"Yes, papa." '
"What Was he doing While you stood
so close together at the foot of the
walk?"
The maiden blushed deeply, but
quickly rebovering her presence of mind
answered
"Papa, you have a right to know.
He was only heightening the effect of
the Landscape."
Location of Stations Along the
Cand,da Pacific Railway.
The managers of the Canada Pacific
Railway have been busy the past few
days locating the stations west of Por-
tage la Prairie, and with the following
results:
De Winton is on section 30, township
10, range 14 west, about a mile and a
half west of the former station. It will
be the principal station between Portage
la Prairie and Brandon. The new
town is to be calle,d Carberry, after
Lord Elphinstone's estate in 'Scot-
land.
